Twining on the Lily Bag Loom
Monograph · 8 pages · weaving drafts
A Lily Mills booklet on making twined bags on the Lily bag loom, a simple finger-weaving technique like that used by American Indians. It covers suitable warp and weft yarns, warping the frame with lark's head knots, making butterflies, half and full twists, color patterning, and finishing with fringes and handles. Project instructions are given for the Bag for Beginners, Jute-Tone Bag, Beige and Coral Bag, and Bird Bag, with a pattern chart for the bird motif and photographs of finished bags.
